A more globalized Japan

In a period of global economic recession, Japan is making the difficult choices to reorient its economy for a more globalized world. As Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said, Japan is taking economic reforms that are "once in a generation," through the popularity termed economic paradigm, Abenomics. Indeed, when Prime Minister Abe welcomes the G7 world leaders to Japan, they will be surprised to find a new Japan, a Japan that embraces globalization and goes beyond borders. To shed light on these exciting developments and explain what is driving this transformation, some of Japan's top CEOs speak out about Japan, globalization & the G7 Summit
